OPERATION CHAPTER 5
5.1 PREPARING THE PLANT SITE
Metso NW Plant consist of different devices like feeders, crushers, screens, conveyors and hoppers.
Figure 5.1 General arrangement on the site
The place where the Metso NW units, conveyors and hoppers are to be located must be even and
load-bearing. The surface needs to be evened out. Refer to the layout and general arrangement drawings
for equipment load towards the ground. The ground needs to be levelled.
Typical foundations are made out of concrete or steel. The devices must not be allowed to sway. Spread
some fine-grained material on the ground, distributing it evenly. It is a customer decision to create concrete
foundations and, if necessary, use the separate concrete elements as a foundation under the devices.
When units are placed on compacted soil, spreader plates are recommended.
Figure 5.2 Spread some fine-grained material on the ground and even it out

OPERATION
5.2 UNLOADING THE PLANT FROM CONTAINERS
Refer to separate unloading instructions.
5.3 FEED HOPPER, SURGE HOPPER AND PLANT CONVEYOR SET-UP
Figure 5.3 NW-FH (feed hopper)
Figure 5.4 NW-SH (surge hopper)

OPERATION
Figure 5.5 Plant conveyor
During the first installation the hoppers and conveyors need to be assembled. Later when moving the plant
to a new location, the conveyors can be folded to transportation position to minimize the needed
re-assembly work.
Refer to the elevation drawing or conveyor specification in the order confirmation to find the exact angle
and height of the tail drum. This is needed when adjusting the conveyor supports to match the feed and
discharge points. Refer to the same documents for additional equipment such as skirt rubbers, foldable
head for crusher feed conveyors and discharge chute types.
5.3.1 BASIC PROCEDURE FOR CONVEYOR INSTALLATION AFTER CONTAINER

TRANSPORTATION
NOTE! This procedure should only be performed under qualified supervision.
5.3.1.1 Assembly of conveyor frame
The conveyor frame is an assembly of different modules namely:
1. Drive end module (5 m & 2.5 m)

OPERATION
2. Intermediate module (5 m & 3 m)

3. Tail end or Non-drive end module (5 m only)
Each module consists of left & right side plates & combination of cross members.
All these modules are further joined to make different length combination using splice plates.
Typically a conveyor is available in following lengths: 7.5 m, 10 m, 13 m, 15 m, 18 m, 21 m, 23 m and 25 m.
Begin with individual modules, i.e any one module whether it is drive, or non-drive or intermediate module.
1. Place all the corresponding side plates and cross members in position, for instance the left hand
side plate of drive end in front of the right hand side plate and the cross-members at their place.
2. Bolt the cross members. Please note that the bolts for cross-members should not be fully
tightened at this stage.
3. Place the splice plates and fasten all the bolts. Do not tighten these bolts fully.
4. Once the complete frame is ready, check both the diagonals of the compete frame and then
tighten all the bolts.

OPERATION
5. Assemble the end brackets on the drive end side.

OPERATION
6. Install the brackets for transition idlers. The transition from 0 deg to 45 deg happens in three steps:
i.e 15 deg > 25 deg > 35 deg > 45 deg. These idlers are generally impact idlers.

OPERATION
5.3.1.1.1 Drive assembly
In any conveyor, the drive i.e. geared motor mounting can be on the right or left side depending on the
layout. The default position for drive is left hand side.
For larger conveyors, there are also dual drive pulleys, i.e. geared motor mounted on both the sides.
5.3.1.1.2 Non-drive end assembly

OPERATION
Once the frame is ready, drive and non-drive assemblies are installed, the carrying rollers are installed.

1. Check that the foundations are levelled and evened out. It is important that especially the
horizontal level is correct in order to have proper contact between the equipment legs and
foundations.
2. Mark the exact position of the legs on the foundations. Use a tape measure or digital laser
measure.
3. Set up the NW feed hopper if applicable. Then tow the NW primary unit underneath it and follow
the NW primary unit instruction manual to prepare it for operation.
4. Place other NW units such as the secondary and tertiary units. Refer to their operating manuals to
prepare them for operation.
5. Place the surge hoppers and vibrating feeders in position if applicable.
6. Lift the conveyors into their place. Pay special attention that transfer points are correct. Feed is
guided into the feed box and middle of the conveyor belt.
7. Remember that crushers and screens need sufficient clearance for operation. Also electric panels
and lubrication units should be isolated from the NW chassis, whenever possible.
8. Check levelling of the all equipment. NW unit level to be checked at crusher support legs and
separately underneath the feeder and screen. Laser level or transparent hose filled with water to
be used.
9. Ensure that all legs are evenly loaded and no gap can be seen between the legs and foundations
or between the fixed and extension part of the legs. If not correct, level the foundations by
grinding. Fine tuning can be done by using a rubber plate (max 5 mm thick) or flat steel shim
plates.

OPERATION
10.Once all the equipment is mechanically installed and in correct position, the electrical connections
are made. Only an authorized electrician is allowed to perform any electrical work.
Plant conveyors are powered from the NW unit electrical panels. During the first installation the cables
need to be cut to correct length and plugs prepared. Connect also safety trip wires and zero speed
switches if applicable.
Main feed cables are to be connected directly on NW units (main feed cables are not part of the Metso
supply). NW panels are to be grounded according to local legislation. Cables are recommended to be
buried underground and protected with external cable protection, according to local legislation.

5.5.2 CONNECTING SEVERAL UNITS
Consecutively operating NW crushing units can be interlocked with connection cables. In that case the
interlocked NW’s are transmitting information between units. E.g. an overload, a material level alarm or a
malfunction stops the feeder of the previous machine.
The primary unit feeder stop delay can be adjusted. By delaying the primary unit stop request the primary
unit keeps feeding the secondary unit but with less tonnage as the feeder is set to its minimum speed when
the secondary unit pause request is active. If the stop is delayed too much it might lead to overflow in the
secondary crusher chamber.

OPERATION
5.6 MEASURES BEFORE STARTING THE PROCESS
Ensure that all units and equipments of the plant are in operation position and are adjusted according to
the process.
5.6.1 RESTRICTED AREA
Before starting the operation, make sure that nobody is inside the device, on top of it or in the restricted
area. Everyone in the vicinity must be warned before the plant is started.
NOTE! Regulations concerning restricted areas may vary between different countries.
WARNING!
Only authorized persons are allowed to stay on the service platform of the NW unit
when it is operating!
WARNING!
Before starting the crushing process and during the crushing, make sure that the
restricted area is clear of people.
WARNING!
Do not climb on top of the plant devices when they are operating!
WARNING!
Do not go or stand below a running conveyor. Stay clear of any falling or
dropping materials or components. Wear a safety helmet and any other
appropriate personal safety equipment.

OPERATION
5.7 STARTING THE PROCESS
5.7.1 PLANT WITHOUT SURGE HOPPER
When the plant does not include surge hopper, the plant is operated as one process. Devices of the whole
plant can be started in certain starting order.
With relay controlled units start all devices separately using start push buttons.
With automation system start process from each NW unit control system.
There is start/stop sequence so process devices are interlocked and can be started in certain sequence.
When the crusher and following process is running, the feeder can be started. Feeder speed can be
adjusted using separate potentiometer or IC control system.
5.7.2 PLANT WITH SURGE HOPPER
When the plant includes the surge hopper, the plant is divided to separate phases like primary, secondary
and tertiary.
Automation system is controlling the safe and effective operation of NW Plant phases separately. Actual
values of the unit and process as well as diagrams can be seen on the display.
With relay controlled units start devices of the phase separately using start push buttons. Devices inside
each phase can be started in certain starting order.
With automation system each phase will start by pushing Process Start push button. Automation system
will start process automatically.
The process start sequence starts the devices of the unit in a specific order. Optional equipment that are
not in use are ignored on start sequence. The sequence ensures that the devices are started in the correct
order.
Automation will start and adjust the feeder automatically.

OPERATION
5.8 OPERATING THE PLANT DURING THE PROCESS
5.8.1 USING THE CONTROL SYSTEM
With relay controlled unit the feeder speed is controlled from potentiometer.
With IC automation controlled unit the feeder speed is controlled from IC display or from service platform
control box (primary unit).
Keep feeder speed suitable for choke feed of crushers. Try to keep phases and whole plant in balance. Too
high speed will stop feeding and then reduce capacity.
5.8.2 LOADING THE UNIT
Jaw crusher setting can be adjusted manually, or optionally, with hydraulic setting adjustment.
Keep setting suitable for process targets. Also pay attention for material properties.
5.8.3 MONITORING PLANT INFORMATION
With IC automation system the NW unit process values can be monitored from the display. Refer to the IC
instruction manual.
5.8.4 PARAMETERS AND SETTINGS
With IC automation system NW process parameters can be adjusted. Refer to the IC instruction manual.
5.8.5 DIAGNOSTICS
With IC automation system alarms and events can be monitored from the display.

OPERATION
5.9 STOPPING THE PROCESS
Before stopping the process stop feeding material and allow all material to pass through the process. Start
the stopping procedure from the feeding end and continue to product conveyors.
With relay controlled units stop all devices separately using stop push buttons in the control panels of NW
units. It is recommended to use plant or phase stopping order (feeder first, product conveyors last).
Automation system will stop the devices in a specific stopping order.
5.9.1 EMERGENCY STOP
To activate the emergency stop safety function press the emergency stop button. For locations of the
emergency stops, see Safety section.
The emergency stop must be used when there is an
• Immediate risk of injury to the humans

• Immediate risk of mechanical damage to the equipment
Emergency stop provides a mechanical means of quickly stopping all the equipment on the machine. The
emergency stop does not switch off the automation system display but all electric controls are made dead.
NOTE! The emergency stop does not stop the other NW units even when they are connected with
interlock cable. Other units have separate emergency stops.
NOTE! Do not stop the unit with emergency stops in daily operations.

MAINTENANCE CHAPTER 6
Continuous and regular maintenance is one of the prerequisites for profitable operation.
With that in mind, the maintenance instructions have been grouped into different categories:
• preventive, daily maintenance and checking procedures

• running-in maintenance
• periodically performed servicing and inspection procedures
Follow the machine specific maintenance programs and instructions.
NOTE! Update maintenance log book daily!
If any deviation from the recommendations is detected during the check, necessary measures must be
taken immediately. In the long run, this kind of procedure will produce the best results for all parties.
The equipment must be serviced and repaired by professional personnel that is adequately acquainted
with the equipment. The safety manual instructions, the startup and shutdown instructions in the instruction
manual and all possible servicing instructions must be followed in all proceedings concerning the
operations of the equipment and its safety devices, as well as inspecting, servicing and repairing the
equipment.
NOTE! Any person working on elevated areas not protected by railings, or on hazardous places
must wear suitable safety equipment, including safety harnesses, if there is a risk of falling.
6.1 MAINTENANCE CHART
This chart presents the schedule for periodic maintenance of the equipment. If more than one time limit is
indicated, the maintenance must be carried out when the first limit is reached (such as 2,000 h / once a
year). The time limits for maintenance procedures must be specified according to the operating conditions.
For example, in extremely dusty operating conditions (or if the dust is very fine), special attention must be
paid to the maintenance of air filters and breathers, and they must be replaced as soon as the minimum
limit for operating hours is reached. In cold conditions and in case of continuous temperature changes, it is
important to drain any condensate waters.

6.2 CONVEYORS
6.2.1 FOLDING THE CONVEYOR END
Before replacing the crusher parts, the conveyor end needs to be folded. The conveyor end is folded by
the lifting lugs using a crane, exceeding 90 degrees to prevent it from unfolding during maintenance
procedures.
After maintenance, the conveyor end is unfolded back to its place in a controlled manner by the lifting lugs
using a crane.

MAINTENANCE
6.2.2 BELT TRACKING
A properly trained conveyor belt will travel over the center of the troughing rolls, pulleys and return rolls,
resulting in lower maintenance costs and improved operation. Conveyor belts can be trained to track
properly, unless they are warped or curved from improper manufacture, use or storage.
Before any belt adjustment is done, make sure that the unit is in level. Also make sure that the material
flow is even. For example the stuck object in the crusher cavity may cause uneven material flow. To inspect
that the conveyor is levelled correctly, refer to the unit level indicator for the unit straightness.
When adjusting the belt, the following items can be used to control the belt tracking:
– Drive drum position

– Return roller position
– Carrying rollers
– Tail pulley position
Before adjustment, make sure that the conveyor belt is undamaged. A damaged belt will not track properly.
6.2.2.1 Squaring the pulleys
In short conveyors the belt tracking is heavily affected by the position of the drive drum and tail pulley.
Before making tracking adjustments, check that the drive and tail pulleys are both square to the conveyor
frame.
Squaring the tail pulley - Mark the frame member close to the tail pulley (Point A). Use a large square (1) to
mark (Point B) on the opposite frame member so that a line between the two points is at a 90° angle to the
imaginary centerline of the frame. Adjust tail pulley bearing blocks so that the distance C (the distance
between marks A and B and the ends of the tail pulley shaft) is equal on both sides of the frame.
If the belt starts moving sideways on the tail pulley check the condition of the pulley.

MAINTENANCE
Figure 6.1 Squaring the tail pulley
Squaring the drive pulley - When adjusting the drive drum location, remember always to loosen the slide
beam locking bolts and the joint bolts of the subframe assembly on both sides of the conveyor. This
function allows the parts to move without causing any torsion on the drive motor. Adjust until the belt is
properly tensioned and the drive pulley is square to the conveyor frame.
Tighten the slide beam locking bolts slightly on both sides of the conveyor to the proper torque (30 Nm).
Figure 6.2 Loosen the slide beam locking bolts on both sides of the conveyor

MAINTENANCE
6.2.2.2 Adjusting the idlers
WARNING!
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can cause death or serious injury
Do not attempt to adjust idlers when the conveyor is running. Stop the conveyors
and perform the appropriate lock out tage out procedures before making any
adjustments.
Adjust for run off by finding the point of maximum run off (D) and adjusting the idler or idlers (E) "ahead" of
it. "Ahead" means those idlers which the belt contacts before the point of run off. Roller position
exaggerated for illustration purposes in figure below.
Figure 6.3 Eliminating run off. 1) Before adjustment, 2) After adjustment
Loosen bolts and pivot roll (E) around its mid point the way you would turn a steering wheel to bring a car
back into the center of its lane. Make small adjustments, retighten bolts and test for run off after each
adjustment. If point of creep changes, adjust idler ahead of the new creep point.
Do not attempt to adjust idlers with the conveyor running. Lock out and tag controls while making
adjustments.
1. Return roller adjustment is used to center the belt on the tail pulley. Run the conveyor with the belt
empty. Loosen the bolts and displace the roller assembly (see the arrows in Figure 6.2). Tighten
bolts and test for run off again.

MAINTENANCE
Figure 6.4 Return idler adjustment
NOTE! Protection plate must adjusted separately. Distance to the roller must not be more than 5
mm.
If the gap between protection plate and roller cannot be adjust smaller than 5 mm roller must be replaced.
2. Carrying idler adjustment is used when the belt does not center with material.
Each end of the carrying idler fits into an elongated hole that provides two mounting locations. See
Figure 6.5. Determine which direction the idler must turn and turn the idler accordingly.
Figure 6.5 Carrying roller adjustment
3. If the belt adjustment method 1 and 2 have not corrected the belt tracking completely, adjust the
tail pulley slightly to make the final correction.
Figure 6.6 Tail pulley adjustment

MAINTENANCE
6.2.3 BELT TENSION
The conveyor belt tension is adjusted by relocating the drive pulley position. When adjusting the drive
drum location, remember always to release the slide beam locking bolts from both side of the conveyor.
This function allows the parts to move without causing any torsion to the drive motor.
A belt is properly tensioned when the sag of the loaded belt between two adjacent return rollers is 0,5 - 3%
of the distance between the rollers when an empty belt is operating.
Sag can be difficult to measure accurately, because of the small distances involved. The practical rule of
thumb is, "The proper tension is the lowest possible tension that will prevent drive pulley slippage and belt
misalignment."
If the conveyor has a vertical curve, the conveyor belt should remain touching all carrying rollers with
material. Without material in the vertical curve the gap between the belt and carrying roller must not be
more than 30 mm.
6.2.4 BELT SCRAPER ADJUSTMENT
The scraping force is done by spring force. Rubber, steel or gas springs are generally used methods.
Belt scraper tension and condition must be checked daily.
1. Observe the scraper wear daily and replace the scraping element when necessary.
The tension mechanism can be jammed or frozen in muddy/icy conditions and due to this the scraper
operation must be checked in the beginning of every shift or daily.
Figure 6.7 Steel spring type pre-cleaner (not available with all conveyors)
2. Adjust the spring to set the scraper’s pressing force so that the belt becomes properly cleaned.

MAINTENANCE
Figure 6.8 Adjusting the rubber spring type pre-cleaner
3. Use tensioning screw Z to adjust the scraper with a rubber element tensioner.
Figure 6.9 Scraper with rubber strap tensioning
The belt scraper in the picture above is adjusted by a rubber strap.

MAINTENANCE
6.2.5 BEARING LUBRICATION
The bearing size will affect the needed grease amount. In the following table the amount of grease (in
grams) is proportioned to shaft diameter (in millimeters).
Notice that same lubrication instructions are valid for magnetic separator as well.
Shaft diameter Amount of grease (g / 40-50 h)

40 4
55 6
60 6
80 9
In practice an appropriate amount of grease to each bearing is about 5-10 grams (0.17....0.35 ounces) in
every 40 - 50 hours.
Use a multipurpose grease with an NLGI-class 2 rating and a good resistance to water, cold (-30 °C/ - 22
°F) and hot (continuous operating temperature +100 °C/ 212 °F).
The grease must have rust and oxidation (RO) inhibitors and it must contain EP-additives. Do not use
grease containing molybdenum.
The minimum viscosity of the base oil must be 160 mm 2/s ( cSt ) in 40 °C/ 104 °F and minimum viscosity
index 80.
6.3 PLANT STORAGE
If the plant is not used for long periods at a time, start up the plant monthly to ensure proper functioning.
Otherwise, contact Metso for instructions for proper protection and storage.
